Our Focus & Impact

When we invest in programs that help children thrive, we improve their futures. In order for children to thrive, they must be free from abuse and neglect. They must be given opportunities to enter school ready to learn and succeed as elementary, middle, and high school students. Plus, the unique impact their communities and neighborhoods have on their development must be taken into account. JWB’s four strategic focus areas provide a framework for these investments, with a goal to have the greatest positive influence on the children and families of Pinellas County.

To ensure young children enter school ready to learn, JWB invests in services to help them gain foundational skills and achieve developmental milestones needed to be successful in kindergarten and beyond.

JWB has a leadership role in identifying community issues and solutions with a primary focus on prevention. Our investments and collective efforts work to address complex problems, while embracing the uniqueness and diversity of communities and neighborhoods.
